English Aesthetic Movement Pottery Soup Plate

Description

English Aesthetic Movement Ridgways Devonshire pattern soup plate. Transfer-printed in sepia brown and orange-red and orange lustreware, with fields of daisies and competing pictures of spareow on branches, bamboo and flowers.

Devonshire is considered one of the key Aesthetic movement dinnerware patterns a collector could own. This is a pair of soup plates but one is cracked and crazed, thus I am selling the two bowls for the price of one.

Printed marks to underside.

9 3/8” D. x 1 1/4”

Circa 1885-1890.

One in excellent condition, the other with haircracks opening up in two locations and crazed.
